Motorcycle And Moped Accident Lawyers In Honolulu, Hawaii
Our personal injury attorneys help motorcycle riders seek compensation for injuries caused by another motorist.
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by motorists who choose to not pay attention to the roadway and then drive into the path of the motorcyclist or moped rider. These same motorists often report that they “didn’t see the motorcyclist” or that the motorcyclist “must have been speeding” because they didn’t see them.
Hawaii continues to have a serious problem related to high numbers of motorcycle accidents with severe, catastrophic, or fatal injuries. The ten-year fatality rate for Hawaii stands at 1,264 deaths. Although motorcycle accidents increased across the United States, a Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA) study indicated that Hawaii has a far more serious situation.
Motorcycle accidents and distracted drivers
The driver of a passenger vehicle or truck who pulls into another lane, up to a light or stop sign, or turns onto another street or highway may not notice a motorcyclist is present. The outcome of the collision often involves the motorcyclist being ejected and thrown onto the roadway and subject to a secondary impact from other vehicles.
